In this connection, the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company officials stato that an agreement is in force between the Array Signal Corps and their firm providing that tho telephone company will delivery service to a PBX switchboard from which board Signal Corps equipment-is usod to transmit calls over the entire Post.
It is pointed out by the telephone company officials that this agreement cannot be transferred to my Department and that it will be necessary for tham to deal directly with tho Army as heretofore if tho present arrangement is to be continued.
The prosent arrangement is very advantageous to this Service, and we are arranging to maintain the Signal Corps equipment at present installed on the same basis as heretofore. This Service plans to maintain two trunk lines us at present and, for the time being at least, to furnish PDX service to the Civilian Conservation District Headquarters establishment, which will provide one trunk line as at present.
Would it be possible for the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company to continue to bill the Army and for reimbursement to be made by my Depart:lent monthly on Standard Form 1080? If this can be done, the present oommunlcationsset-up at Fort Missoula need not be disturbed, and upon relinquishment by my Department to the afar Department, no complications should arise.
